2017 Kistler Laguna Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir Russian River Valley

93 Points  Wine Advocate

Medium ruby-purple, the 2017 Pinot Noir Laguna Ridge Vineyard offers dried cranberry, dried red and black cherries, cinnamon stick, tobacco leaf and charcuterie with notions of violets, orange peel, tree bark and earthy touches. Medium-bodied and silky, it's youthfully coiled, hinting at latent flavor layers, sturdily framed by lightly chalky tannins and juicy freshness, finishing long and savory. This needs more time in bottle to unwind. (EB) 93+
